Since the average adult has about 5 quarts of blood, the volume would be reduced by about 20%. Blood donors are limited to one pint (about 10%).
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "blood volume loss" to get this:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
why do you think it would be very dangerous to lose a quart of blood in an accident?
